make a wish

i tend to put off opening the mail...and emptying the dishwasher, but last night, i received a padded envelope that didn't look like a bill or credit card offer. this was inside. 

the candle has a generously long wick that forms a necklace, and the pinhole cupcake reminded me of the covetable work of this lovely girl.

here is what i wish for...

clockwise  from top: 

i've had my eye on this book for a long time.

an icy green votive scented with neroli - a fragrance that holds many memories for me.

a crewel rug.

 espadrilles dressed in suede, silky ribbon, and raffia. i might just wear them to bed.
